Verdict

Donatis Comet completed a hat-trick of bumper victories in 2011 and has since run exclusively on the Flat, where he's been performing with credit. Gentleman Duke has been performing in much better races than this and his overall form puts him right in the picture though he's penalised for his victory on the level. Dayrina has run some fair races but she's still a maiden after 23 career starts so this may be best left to URANNA. Willie Mullins' recruit from France has a real jumper's pedigree and showed enough in her three bumper starts to suggest she can make her mark.
